What is Risperdal?

Risperdal® (risperidone) is a powerful antipsychotic approved to treat schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and irritability associated with autism. However, it is also linked to a variety of adverse side effects. One of the most disturbing is gynecomastia, the abnormal growth of breast tissue in young males and men.

What are the Side Effects of Risperdal?

Hundreds of lawsuits have been filed against Johnson & Johnson alleging serious side effects and personal injuries, and the U.S. Food & Drug Administration has issued several warnings related to the drug. A significant number of boys and young men who were prescribed Risperdal grew enlarged breasts after taking this medication. In some cases, mastectomies or other surgeries were needed to treat the problem.
